On their third album “Everland” the fairy tale metal band Xiphea take their audience on a musical journey. From all over the world come tales and myths whose origins are of remote countries: from the mystical Far East, the romantic Northern lands, but also our familiar homeland. A variety which is mirrored in the music. The familiar bombastically orchestrated arrangements meet with folklore and exotic sounds, which still allow the versatile, melodious voice of the singer Sabine to shine through. Xiphea have shown often enough already that they master the typical interplay between the harsh metal music and the beauty of stirring melodies. With “Everland” the musicians have succeeded in creating an intriguing connection between these two parts. The contrast is transformed into an own entity resulting in a relentlessly thrilling impact. For any fan of double bass and guitar action who also loves being transported to the world of fantasy “Everland” is worth the trip.
